But surprise is not surprise and fun anymore if it's being announced in advance..especially you have whole lot of people here who are experiencing quake anytime "by surprise", so advance notice is probably unnecessary, just saying..my 1yen

I'm doing great and plotting an extended vacation in Japan and beyond for this fall. It's nice to get a little update on the board so all my cultural references aren't 5-10 years old (don't want to ask how Bob Sapp and Morning Musume are doing.)

I'm interested to see if the disaster has gotten people to focus on something more important than the latest idoru or if all has reverted back to the regular dreamland.

As I found out over the weekend, AKB48 has infected literally everyone I know. Even my hockey teammates were blasting this mess in the car and locker room The most disheartening thing was our senior player, at age 46, was singing along...

They are totally fuckable... now the music and/or conversation... that's open to debate...

Of being 2$ spunk dumpsters whoring themselves in pseudo-pedo-porn video...

The most impressively annoying part is the way they overdo their move while doing their synchro dance like if it was some sur-human ability requiring an inordinate amount of dedication and work... I got bearded rednecks from my nude woodworking video series who can pull 2x4 while looking smoother and sexier than these failed tramps despite having chest hairier than your run of the mill untrimmed j-bush...

Man, it has been a long time. I remember coming here back in 2004 following a link from the Tokyo Dv website. My username was Kaibutsu then, and I was an anime addled fool who had the crazy idea in his head of becoming a manga artist in Japan. That is until you guys and gals set me straight on the fact that it'd tough, and Japan's not the cherry blossom wonderland so many anime geeks think it is. Despite all that, I still love this place, because I can get the true view of Japan and how it relates to the world.

But isn't this the antipole of AKB48?

That is fine Jack, you can say what you want, but thanks to one senior member, a real stand up guy, he really helped me out in a time of crisis, and I'm not sure where I would be without his help. Also two years ago, when my brother was killed Cyka Uchin and others went the extra mile to help me out getting home quickly. So yes, I do feel this site has been a godsend.
